Chapter 272 Seyfried’s Life of Ten Thousand Years Old 2
Looking at Liu on the opposite side and the score of six to three on the scoreboard, Seyfried knew that he had lost again.
Seyfried used to be a talented boy who attracted everyone's expectations, but since he participated in official public tennis competitions, his results have always been second... Every time, he doesn't know where he will suddenly fall. A person appeared and landed on his head.
It is precisely because of this that over time, the adults around him no longer have expectations for him, and their eyes will only focus on the number one. This strong sense of gap almost drove him crazy, and when he was invited to the middle school student trials, he vowed to win first place.
But... things always develop in a direction he hates.
In the U-17 training camp, Seyfried's performance was very impressive, but this time, after all, the most outstanding junior high school students in Germany gathered here, so it is natural that there is someone different from Seyfried. A rival player - Frankensteiner.
Every time the training rankings are announced, Seyfried can always see Frankensteiner next to his name, and the two are tied for first place most of the time.
In the duel with Frankensteiner, maybe Seyfried was not mentally strong enough~ He made mistakes one after another in the duel. Because of this, he... became second again.
After that game, he was disheartened and almost wanted to give up tennis, but fortunately he met Bismarck.
Bismarck smiled and said to him, "No matter what the competition is, no matter what the situation, I can guarantee that I will get second place without any suspense. Isn't this ability cool?"
"It is not an easy thing to consistently get second place... Players like you are indispensable in the team competition."
"..." Seyfried, who was lying on the ground, regained his courage to face tennis because of Bismarck's words.
Although I don’t know what Bismarck’s real purpose was, or why he suddenly appeared to comfort him, there is no doubt that the Bismarck who appeared at that time was the angel in Seyfried’s mind.
The redeemed Seyfried began to practice tennis desperately under Bismarck's encouragement, but at the same time...Polk brought Tezuka Kunimitsu into the German team.
According to the requirements of the competition, the U-17 team participating in this competition must have no less than three junior high school students officially participating. Among these three places, one of the places belongs to Berti, who has already entered the profession, and the remaining The two spots originally belonged to the top two in the junior high school selection. Originally, Seyfried was definitely able to compete, but now... there is another genius praised by Polk - Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who came to Germany from a foreign country to seek a career path, was praised by many for his outstanding talent, but it was precisely because of this that Seyfried was full of hostility towards the boy. Although he knows very well that the stronger the players, the better for the German team. But there was always a sense of unwillingness and grievance in his heart... It was obvious that he had worked so hard, but fate never seemed willing to favor him.
This unwillingness and grievance turned into jealousy when Tezuka received one-on-one tutoring from Polk.
So...there were signs that Seyfried was sarcastic about his opponent Tezuka and Tezuka was faintly isolated in the German team.
Polk originally wanted to intervene in the matter, but gave up the idea under Bismarck's persuasion.
After all, some matters still need to be resolved by the parties themselves... Their intervention will not have much effect, not to mention that Seyfried will only mock Tezuka verbally.
As for isolation... it has no effect on a Tezuka who needs to be taught by Polk alone! Anyway, they don't often train together, so Tezuka doesn't care about the occasional ridicule, not to mention that he clearly knows that his arrival will affect the interests of others after all.
And... Seyfried would never want to ruin Tezuka's tennis career like Tezuka's former senior at Seigaku.
After Tezuka was brought to the German team's training base, Seyfried expected his performance to decline, but because of the tone in his heart... he would send an invitation to Tezuka to compete every evening. If Tezuka agreed, Then he will fight against Tezuka honestly and find Tezuka's weaknesses during the battle. If he hadn't agreed, Seyfried would have done nothing. He would have only strengthened his training for the day and worked harder.
But no matter how many times he competed, he would always lose to Tezuka. Although he was very reluctant, Seyfried still accepted this fate. Although he still hated Tezuka and would ridicule him, he also accepted Tezuka's existence and admitted that Tezuka was indeed far better than himself.
But when he was about to give up and continue to fight in the training camp, Tezuka told him, "Your difficult defensive ability makes me troubled every time, so...how about trusting your tennis more?"
Seyfried did not expect that Tezuka, who had always been indifferent, would actually recognize his defeated tennis player. Although he was very excited in his heart, his face was still mocking as always.
Tezuka, who knew that Seyfried had this character, did not feel displeased, but said those words again seriously.
Looking at Tezuka's serious expression, Seyfried finally decided to trust him and no longer focus on playing tennis just to impress others. It was at this time that he saw his own heart clearly.
In the next few days, after Seyfried competed with Tezuka for several more games, he invited the other party to be the referee for his game with Frankensteiner. He wanted to overcome the consequences that Frankensteiner had brought to him. shadow.
Faced with Seyfried's invitation, Tezuka happily went. However... as the member being challenged, Frankensteiner actually found out about the challenge after Tezuka agreed to be the referee for the two-man match. I have to say that sometimes, Seyfried was a little confused. .
In a gymnasium with no audience, no coach, and just three teenagers who love tennis, under the watchful eye of Tezuka, Seyfried successfully entered the realm of 'the ultimate in seamlessness'.
Although there was no winner in this match between the two, after seeing Seyfried realize the 'limit of seamlessness', Frankensteiner took the initiative to find the coach and tell him about it. For the sake of the German team, Frankensteiner chose to withdraw from the U-17 competition and chose to give the spot to Seyfried, who in his opinion was more useful in the team competition.
Seyfried, who had solved an obstacle in his heart after competing with Frankensteiner, had no idea about all this. In the roster arrangement before the subsequent game against the R National Team, Seyfried even smiled and asked everyone to help him 'revenge'.
Only after the coach reluctantly said, "You'd better take revenge yourself" did Seyfried learn what Frankensteiner had done.
Looking at his companions around him, Seyfried didn't say anything, but secretly determined to win.
But...now...
Seyfried lowered his head feebly.
"It's not time to give up now..." Looking at the disappointed Seyfried, Bismarck said with a smile, "What's more, the fate of the German team not to advance has been determined in the first three games."
"We don't need to carry so much in this game, we just need to enjoy it to the fullest..." Bismarck blinked at Seyfried who slowly raised his head, "What's more, this is a doubles~"
